Old Man Hu's scalp was a little numb, he looked at himself quickly, and asked blankly, "Where did you mark me?"
"You, I didn't do it."
Xun Xie spread out his hands helplessly, "A demon that can kill Old Man Hu will surely kill me. It's useless even if I make a mark."
Old Man Hu thought about it and felt it made sense.
Mr. Song was silent for a while, thinking about something, and said, "Have you asked this demon what its purpose is?"
Xun Xie shook his head: "I haven't fought a demon before, so I'm not sure if I can beat it, so I just killed him."
Mr. Song expressed his admiration: "Well, it should be done. Nothing is more important than saving your own life. However, I can't figure out why this demon is attacking you."
For what purpose?
Of course, he wanted to eat me!
Xun Xie frowned and said, "Could it be that Mr. Song suspects that this demon attacked me with other purposes?"
Mr. Song nodded: "The demons are terrifying and powerful, but they don't have irresistible power able to cover the sky with one palm. They generally don't attack warriors rashly. Even if you eat some mortals secretly, you can also satisfy your hunger similarly. What's more, you are Old Man Hu's apprentice and my book boy, if the demon eats you, it will definitely alarm me and Mr. Hu, and it will never escape."
Xun Xie thoughts quickly churned: “Could it be they felt my flesh was too fragrant and couldn’t resist the urge to eat me despite the repercussions... well his approach was calm, so I guess not.”
Old Man Hu: “…”
Mr Song: “…”
Xun Xie: "Could it be that this demon wanted to eat me, and then steal my identity to approach Mr. Song or Mr. Hu instead?"
Mr. Song: "I have also done tricks on you, and the demons can't fake you."
Xun Xie paused for a moment then groaned in his heart!
Old Man Hu looked at Mr. Song and then at Xun Xie, and suddenly felt that he was so innocent. These two were old silver coins.
During the conversation, a green-clothed handyman rushed over and reported, "Mr. Song, Mr. Hu, something is wrong!"
Mr. Song waved expressionlessly: "Don't panic, just take a breath and talk slowly."
The handyman said, "Just now, Du Shisan, the leader of the Bone Breaker Gang, was attacked and died on the street."
Du Shisan was killed!
The faces of Xun Xie, Mr. Song, and Old Man Hu all changed color.
Unexpectedly, the handyman continued: "Gao Guan, the leader of the Cold Eagle Gang, was also attacked and died tragically at the door of his house. The leader of the Crow Kill Gang, Li Yucheng, also died so is the new leader of the Wolf Head Gang..."
Hearing this, Mr. Song was already shocked and said solemnly: "Xiao Xie, Du Shisan, Gao Guan, Li Yucheng, they are all gang bosses. Someone is targeting you specifically!"
Xun Xie felt a chill in his heart, and said in shock, "The one who attacked me was a demon, then the one who attacked Du Shisan and the others..."
Mr. Song nodded: "It's possible. The original result of this killing round should be that all the gang bosses, including you, were killed. And we don't know who the murderer is at all, so we can't be sure that the murderer is a demon."
Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
Old Man Hu suddenly realized: "Then most of the demons who killed Du Shisan and others were acquaintances Du Shisan and the others knew. They were all killed by surprise attacks by the demons."
As soon as these words came out, even he was taken aback.
Unconsciously, Blue Grain Town had so many demons who had sneaked in to quietly kill people, eat people, and then replaced them, mixed with their colleagues, and could kill them at any time.
Too terrifying!
Demons were too overpowered!
If Xun Xie wasn’t chilled by the truth of the sequence of events, then he couldn’t help but jump up and shout: Hacks! they’re all Hacks! Nature come quickly patch these bug players!
Not long after, Fang Lu, Feng Ming, and Lin Qingyu. The three instructors came to Song Mansion one after another. Their most powerful apprentice was killed, and even fools can sense that something was amiss.
After the three came, they learned that Xun Xie was also attacked, but they not only survived, but also counter-killed the murderer.
The three coaches couldn't help but look up at Xun Xie a second time.
They have long heard tales that Xun Xie's talent is very good, but don't know how good if you don't compare him suitably with others, recent events proved he was quite good, even the best.
Afterwards, Leng Mingyuan and three other new coaches also came, and everyone closed the door to discuss.
In the room, there are eight instructors including Mr. Song, Old Man Hu, and Xun Xie total of ten people with Xun Xie and Mr Song.
It stands to reason that Xun Xie is not qualified to participate in such an important high-level secret meeting.
However, Xun Xie was the only survivor, and he proved himself with his strength.
Naturally, no one said anything to expel him.
Mr. Song explained what happened to Xun Xie.
"It turns out that this is what the demon did!"
Feng Ming was furious when he heard the revelation. To be honest, he didn't suspect the demon at first, he just thought it was his apprentice who caused some sort of trouble, and it caused his death like gambling or provoking some great master.
Fang Lu was rather calm: "Obviously, this was a carefully planned killing game, and at least four demons participated in the attack."
Lin Qingyu wondered, "Why did the demons kill the bosses of a few gangs? After killing them, they didn't eat the corpses. What do they want to acheive?"
Mr. Song: "The demons kill without eating. Obviously, they want to pretend that adults* are killing people. Moreover, this is possibly more than four demons acting at the same time, organized and premeditated." (*Martial arts masters: eg, in this case an unknown teacher level expert.)
Looking around the crowd, "I suspect that someone is secretly driving these demons to cause chaos, first killing the gang leader, causing the gangs to be leaderless and drive the town into chaos so that they can carry out bigger attacks."
Hearing this, Xun Xie's expression changed, and realized that the IQs of the daring demons were not low, and they knew how to cooperate with each other.
Old Man Hu took a deep breath, "Old Song, are you suspicious..."
Mr. Song nodded: "I suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes is the hostile force of the Black Cloud family, the Crescent Boar family."
Everyone suddenly grew silent.
Xun Xie became more and more suspicious; how did these two things connect with each other? Obviously, they were unrelated okay? What abacus was hidden here?
Unless… Xun Xie couldn't help but ask, "Are demons also working with humans?"
Mr. Song: "Although demons are cannibals or maneaters to be more accurate, if there is a strong man who subdues demons and feeds them the demons will obey that person's orders and serve him."
Xun Xie’s heart skipped a beat.
It is self-explanatory what he uses to feed the demons, and the evil in this world has risen to another level in vain in his heart. Man feeding his fellow man to monsters!
"Take people to feed demons, how can someone really do such a vicious thing?" Xun Xie clenched his fists outraged.
He doesn't want to think too badly of people, but some people can always refresh his three views. It seems he was too pure for this sick world.
Hearing Xun Xie's self-talk, Old Man Hu, Leng Yuan and others obviously knew about these things, and sighed.
Mr. Song said with a solemn expression: "Since there are demons mixed in under our noses before they know that the attack on Xun Xie failed, we must take action quickly."
Next, Mr. Song methodically explained what to do.
The element of surprise was on their side, so was power, the home-field advantage and likely numbers as well. The odds were in their favor.
After listening to the opinions of the eight instructors, they divided themselves into two groups and immediately started action.
Xun Xie followed Old Man Hu.
Leng Mingyuan also joined in.
Old Man Hu first summoned all the apprentices to the Hu residence, and the door slammed shut.
Afterward, Xun Xie suddenly appeared before them and said coldly, "Everyone, take off all your shirts and accept my examination."
This attitude made the apprentices bewildered, but the elder brother’s words were supreme, so just do it.
However, one of the apprentices suddenly became nervous and suddenly grabbed the neck of the person beside him.
"Ah, what are you doing?"
The one who was strangled was Qin Qing, and the one who strangled her was Wang Qiaoqiao, an unknown female apprentice.
Seeing this situation.
Xun Xie, Old Man Hu, and Leng Mingyuan surrounded Wang Qiaoqiao in a tacit understanding.
"Let me go, or I will kill Qin Qing" Wang Qiaoqiao showed a vicious look on her face gripping her victim tightly.
